The paper discusses technical capabilities of the HF ionospheric heating facility at Ramfjordmoen (near Tromso, Norway), which will become a part of the EISCAT association beginning January 1993. Particular attention is given to a practical implementation of ionospheric heating experiments using the EISCAT incoherent scatter radars as the main diagnostic. It is shown that most of the observed features at Tromso were in good agreement with the theory of parametric decay instabilities, with only a few of the features remaining unexplained. Among these, the most striking is the existence of a 'space-time blob structure', where the time variation of scattered power from adjacent altitudes seems to be correlated. It is suggested that most of the Tromso results can be adequately explained by the parametric decay process.
